So, it seems the root is that Japan uses ISO dating typically, even
handwritten, and the new default uses not ISO, and there's no GUI option
to set it as such.  Not so much a bug as a design choice.

Title:
  indicator-datetime displays the date unnaturally in Japanese

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The date should be (and has been in previous Ubuntu versions)
  displayed as follows (for YMD):

  2018年5月4日 (the symbols clearly mean year, month, day).

  Instead, they're displayed weirdly as "5月 4 2018" This is not the way
  a date would ever be written in Japanese. In gnome this happens on the
  lock screen as well.

  If you were writing a date without the year it would be:

  5月4日

  it doesn't make sense to leave off the 日.
